Instead of $28.99, make it $26.99 and give the BD supporters a bit of a discount for not including the extras.
Of course, I know its ridiculous, but again, im just saying I would be pissed if I was solely a BD supporter and wanted this movie.

Trivia tracks
Musical performances
Gag reel
Showtime original content
...and more
Lionsgate has set the SRP for either set at $39.98, choosing not to add a premium to the Blu-ray set. We hope to have artwork soon.

That's interesting that Weeds on BD will be the same price as the DVD. That's something I didn't expect to happen for a long time (if ever), so that is a surprise. Now if they could just do that for movies.

I just saw this in the theater last night, though, and it looked and sounded like complete ass.
The movie itself was also way overhyped.

The musical hit, which earned nearly $50 million during its theatrical run this past winter, will hit both next-gen formats in a special edition boasting numerous bonus features.
Among the extras are a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and a fictional music video featuring star Hugh Grant, in character.
